Care of Colts Feet.

A correspondent of the American Cultivator
in writing of the Of colts in the winter
time makes some excellent points as to the man
agement of feet. He says: THE breeder should
not forget the feet Of young stock require at
tenton much at any time of their
lives, and more than in summer The reason
is that young stock is generally confined at this
time of the year to yards that are covered with
straw, and there is little OF no wear on the rim
of the feet. The feet go growing larger,
whilst the lower foot binds it and pinches the
internal machinery of the foot Moreover, colts
that are not given plenty of room for exercise
are likely to kick II their stalls, and thus re-
ceive in juries that will terminate in permanent
injury. The toes, too. will grow to excessive
length, throwing the strain undnlv on the back
tendons. and unduly pinching the anterior
joints of the foot / speak from what have
when l say that neglect of the feet in colts
is fruitful source of ringbone and other kim
drsd diseased conditions of the foot. The colt
should be taken into barn with plank floor,
held by one man whilst another takes sharp
two-inch chsel and mallet. II the colt is not,
as he should be, broken to have his feet handled,
the surplus hoof can be easily. quickly and safe
ly removed, the heels will have a chance to
spread and the feet will approach at least their
natural bearing better way would be to
have the feet pared all around the foot from be-
low, as the angles of the bars not be got at
under the former method. but if the colt is not
broken to handling, 1t will be best to try the
former method"
